Disclaimer

1. Content of the online offering
The author assumes no liability for the topicality, correctness, completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against the author relating to loss or damage of a material or immaterial nature caused by the use or failure to use the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are in principle excluded, save in the case of demonstrable wilful or grossly negligent fault on the part of the author.

All offers are subject to change and non-binding. The author explicitly reserves the right, without separate announcement, to alter, supplement, delete or, temporarily or permanently, discontinue publication of parts of the pages or the entire offering.

2. References and links
In the direct or indirect references to third party internet sites (“links”) outside the author’s area of responsibility, liability would apply solely if the author were aware of the content and if it were technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the case of illegal content.

The author hereby explicitly declares that, at the time the link was created, there was no evidence of any illegal content on the pages to be linked. The author has no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship. He therefore explicitly disassociates himself from all content on all linked pages that was altered after the link was created. This statement applies to all links and references placed in the author’s own internet offering and to third party entries in guest books, discussion forums and mailing lists created by the author. The author of the page referred to and not the person that merely creates a link to the publication is liable for illegal, defective or incomplete content and in particular for loss or damage arising from the use or failure to use such information.

3. Copyright and trademark law
The author endeavours to observe the copyright in the graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts used in all publications, to use graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts created by himself or to make use of graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts for which no royalties are payable.

All trademarks that are referred to in the internet offering and may be protected by third parties are subject unreservedly to the provisions of the trademark law applicable from time to time and the possessory rights of the respective registered owner. It is not permitted to conclude from the mere reference to them that trademarks are not protected by third party rights.

The copyright in published objects created by the author himself remains with the author alone. Such graphics, audio documents, video sequences and texts in other electronic or printed publications may not be reproduced or used without the explicit consent of the author.

4. Data protection
If, in the internet offering, it is possible to enter personal or business data (email address, name, address), such data is disclosed by the user on an explicitly voluntary basis. The use of and payment for all services offered is – insofar as it is technically possible and reasonable – permitted without the disclosure of such data or on the basis of anonymised data or a pseudonym. You will find further information under Data Protection

5. Validity of this disclaimer
This disclaimer is to be read as part of the internet offering from which reference was made to this page. Insofar as parts of, or specific wording in, this text are not, or are no longer or not fully in accordance with the current legal position, the content and validity of the remaining parts of the document remain unaffected.
